main
focus
of your manuscript, and then click on ‘Next’.

mandatory for most article types. Click on ‘Next’ to continue.

click on ‘Next’ when you have added all the required information.
Attach Files
All items for submission must be uploaded via the internet: no hard copy
submissions will be considered.
Depending on article type, some items for submission will be mandatory.
These elements are marked with an asterisk.
Use the ‘browse’ button to select the file you need to upload. The uploaded
files are then listed at the foot of the page. Changing the numbers in the
boxes on the left hand side of the list will change the order in which the files
appear in the PDF. The files can be removed or replaced as necessary by
clicking on ‘Remove’. You can download and view the files by clicking on
‘Download’.
Clicking on the ‘Next’ button will bring you to a page which will allow you to
double check the files you have chosen to upload. These files can be
removed or replaced. When you are happy with the files that have been
uploaded, you can start the PDF generation process by clicking on ‘
Build
PDF for my Approval
’.
While the PDF is being created, the submission is moved to the
‘

’ folder. The PDF will not open
automatically but you will see a ‘
View Submission
’
link when the PDF is
ready to be viewed.
Reviewing and Approving Your Submission
You must click on ‘
View Submission
’ in order to approve, edit or remove the
submission. The submission will open in Adobe Acrobat and the uploaded

also receive a letter of confirmation.
When you approve your submission, it will be filed in the ‘

’ section in your Author Main Menu. If you click on ‘

TRACKING THE PROGRESS OF YOUR SUBMISSION
Once your manuscript has been submitted to the journal, you can track its
progress by viewing your submission in the ‘

’
section (accessed through a link on the Author Main Menu page).
REVISING YOUR SUBMISSION
If the Editor dealing with your submission decides that your submission needs
to be revised, you will be notified by e-mail. The submission will move from
the ‘

’ folder to the ‘
Submissions Needing
Revision
’ folder, which can be accessed through a link on the Author Main
Menu page.
Clicking on ‘
Submit Revision
’ will bring you back into the first submission
step and allow you to make changes where necessary. After uploading the
revised elements, a new PDF is generated for you to approve and this will
return the revision to the Editor.
If you need more time to revise your submission, you should contact the
Editor via the system. In the far left column of the table displaying information
regarding your submission(s), there is a ‘
Send E-mail
’ link. This opens an e-
mail that you can customise and send directly to the Editor.
REINSTATE A DECLINED REVISION
Some Authors accidentally remove a submission they intended to revise, by
clicking on ‘
Decline to Revise
’ or ‘

’. This moves the paper into the
‘
Declined Revisions
’ section in your main menu. If this does happen, you
should click on ‘
Declined Revisions
’ in your main menu. On this page, click
on the ‘
Reinstate Submission
’ link. This will move the submission back into
the ‘
Submissions Needing Revisions
’ section in your main menu.
